Momentum Turn Watch

Weekly Bullish MACD Divergence Price made a lower low ($201.52→$194.72) while MACD made a higher low (-3.63→-0.55). Treat it as early momentum evidence until price confirms a turn.

Bollinger Squeeze Bollinger band width (7.3%) is in the bottom quartile of its last 120 sessions — Legend's width-percentile squeeze (not a TTM/Keltner squeeze), so volatility is compressed and a sharper move often follows.

Early technical context only. Wait for price, volume, and the canonical setup trigger to confirm; this signal does not change readiness or the setup score.

⚠ Green but fading. The day closed below its open and in the lower third of the range. This is not strong momentum, whatever the headline percentage says.

Short-term conviction -1 points.

Session closed below its open and in the lower third of the day's range — green on the day, but the move faded.

Price bars, sourced event fields, and benchmark math only. This can adjust displayed short-term conviction; it does not change the stored scanner score or readiness.
